A Sensitive and Specific DNA Probe to Identify Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli, a Recently Discovered Diarrheal Pathogen
1 Jun 1990
Abstract excerpt
The epidemiologic significance of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC) as a diarrheal pathogen has only recently come under study. Although EAggEC has been associated with persistent diarrhea in infants in some developing countries, additional studies are clearly needed. Until now, the only means of identifying EAggEC strains has been the cumbersome HEp-2 cell adhesion assay. The isolation and cloning of a...
